South Dakota Sales Tax Removal/Reimbursement Policy
Purchase of any item physically located in South Dakota will be subject to applicable State, County and City Sales tax based on location. All buyers will be required to pay these taxes up front at time of purchase. If an Out of State buyer chooses to hire a third-party hauler to move their item from South Dakota to an out of state location to forego paying said sales tax, it is the buyer’s responsibility to provide Ulmer Auction Service with a copy of their Bill of Lading in a timely manner. No tax will be removed without this documentation. Auction buyers will have three (3) weeks following the date of sale to remit a valid Bill of Lading for sales tax reimbursement. Any customer making remittances or wanting to remove the tax after that time frame will be charged a processing fee up to 10%, with a minimum charge of $50.00.

ABANDONMENT POLICY
This notice is to inform you of our policies and procedures regarding any purchased item(s) that have not been removed by the buyer in a timely manner. Upon winning the bid for an item(s), after paying for the item(s) purchased, the buyer is obligated to remove the item(s) from the auction site within a timely manner.
Ulmer Auction Service may deem a buyer’s failure to claim and remove item(s) or contact us to make arrangements for removal of item(s), within 60 days (up to 180 days may be possible if we are kept aware in writing) following the close of an auction as evidence of the buyer’s intention to abandon the item.

After selling the item(s) Ulmer Auction Service will remit the sales proceeds to the abandoning buyer, less selling and advertising expenses, storage costs, plus a 20% administrative fee.
In the case of titled vehicles, the buyer agrees to promptly return the title for said vehicle to Ulmer Auction Service within 7 days after said vehicle has been considered abandoned by these terms. In the event the buyer fails to do so, the buyer hereby irrevocably appoints Ulmer Auction Services as its power of attorney for the purpose of applying for a lost, or other such replacement title, including any associated paperwork needed to obtain such title, so as to allow for the re-sale thereof. In the event of re-sale, upon receipt by Ulmer Auction Service of such resale amount, any proceeds remaining after the deductions as set forth herein, will be returned to the abandoning buyer, provided Ulmer Auction Service is able to determine a method for doing so. It shall be the duty and responsibility of the buyer to keep Ulmer Auction Service updated on the buyer’s correct contact information. The buyer agrees to indemnify and hold Ulmer Auction Service harmless from the buyer’s failure to timely remove the purchased item(s) as agreed, as well as for the buyer’s failure to keep Ulmer Auction Service updated on the buyer’s current contact information.

As a Buyer you have two objectives to accomplish:
(1) Purchasing the Item.
(2) Purchasing the Item at a price you can afford.
How is this accomplished?
• Estimate comparative value
• Experienced buyers always decide what to pay before the bidding begins
• Inspect the Item carefully
• Compare with other Items of the same age and similar condition.
• Check the selling price of previously sold like Items
• Discuss your buying plans with a lender. Have your financing arrangements made in advance
• This sale is not subject to financing
Avoid Over or Under Bidding
• Always bid on an Item toward the price you have in mind
• Establish that price before the bidding begins. (By doing this you will avoid getting caught up in the auction excitement and pay a price that is too high for the market or one that you cannot afford. It will also make you confident to bid to your established fair market value. Many bidders who do not plan ahead end up with regrets after the auction because they were too nervous or uncertain about their judgement to bid.)
Strategy
• Research and know the value of the Item
• Have your financing arranged before the auction
• Establish your highest and best bid before the bidding begins
• Make your bids promptly to force other bidders up or out without delay
Thank you for trusting Ulmer Auction Service to be your #1 auction experience.
